Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Common Sense (Sec. 15061(b)(3)).
Reasons for Exemption
The development and approval of the public domain computer program, comprised of CBECC 2025.1.0 and CBECC-Res, does not impose any new requirements and therefore has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Accordingly, the public domain computer program, CBECC 2025.1.0 and CBECC-Res 2025.1.0, does not meet the definition of a project under section 15378(a) of the CEQA Guidelines or, alternatively, would be exempt pursuant to the common sense exemption under section 15061(b)(3).
